So the average person puts on 2.2 lbs over Xmas? Amateurs!

I’m not advocating overeating etc but I’m quite surprised that that’s all. I try to be careful and even avoid things I love , but even still I’m usually 5 lbs up!
And don’t even get me started on my friend who loses weight over Xmas ( I believe her!)

😂😂 definitely amateurs.

I’m slim and watch my weight all year but can easily put on 5lb or more over Christmas.

What with my lockdown weight gain I can’t really afford to put any on over Christmas. But it’s probably inevitable. I’m thinking C25K in January

I dread to think what would happen if I let myself have Xmas pud, Xmas cake and Baileys! I adore them but try to avoid

Interesting. I don't think I've ever put weight on over Christmas!

I put 10 pound on in one week over Xmas a few years ago.

My weight can vary by 3lb in a day 🤣

6lb easy here.

I have no understanding of people who put on soooo little.

Managed to get away the week after half term. Put on 11lb!!

5lb of that disappeared quickly when I got back home. But I'm still struggling to get rid of the other 4

I'm normally quite strict with my eating. So when I have any time off the wheels completely fall off. I'm afraid I'm an "all or nothing" type 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve been 8lbs in the past, just over the week

Though weirdly I haven’t put on any weight over lockdown/2020 (fat already)

Im wondering if maybe ive reached my maximum weight...

I can easily put on 8 to 10lb over the 2 weeks around Xmas. It then takes me until May to lose it again

I can put on 2 lb in one big meal .

One time i was as good as gold for a month

I lost 4lbs

Then i had a pizza and bit of garlic bread, gained the lot back....fucking ridiculous 😀

A colleague of mine spent Christmas in the UK a couple of years ago and managed to put on 6kg. No idea how he did it, I assume lots of sweet things, wine with every meal and zero exercise for a week.

I'm another one of those annoying ones who manages to lose weight
